2 Samuel 11:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ When Uriah arrived, David inquired about how Joab was doing, how the army was^[a] doing, and how the war was progressing.

⁸ Then David told Uriah, “Go on down to your house and relax a while.”^[b] So Uriah left the king’s palace, and the king sent a gift along after him. ⁹ But Uriah spent the night sleeping in the alcove of the king’s palace in the company of all his master’s staff members. He refused to go down to his own home.
